Each year new reading and reference material is added. The greatest supply of this material comes from the Jackson County Library. Of course, the library wouldn't be complete without Mrs. Turner and her assistants. They help students find the material they need for entertainment and work. The library has become a very important place for'students who wish to study or those who enjoy reading a good book. As the library is mainly for the students, it is inhabited by them throughout the day. Students find the library helpful for studying and also for relaxation

Mr. Yust guides seniors to college doors Coundeford romofe .syfuclenf Tflnvlerafanvling The counselor's basic concern is the welfare of the individual student. That is, helping the student better understand himself and his en- vironment, and ways of adjusting, so that he may utilize his potential to the maximum. All of the counseling services should contribute dir- ectly or indirectly to this end. The senior counselor considers it apleasure to assist students seeking graduation. When the three year association comes to an end, it is realized that the maturity of person and personality has occurred quickly and it has come as a result of the guidance of the counselor. However, the services of interpreting rank in class, test scores, and aid in the selection of academic subjects are all made in goodfaith andhope for the student's future. The counselor has also been availablewhen personal problems become too burdensomeg but by far his main function is just to be there in his office and in some way make the student's short stay in high school a more rewarding experience. The junior year can sometimes be thought of as an intermediate year. During this time, students make tentative plans for college or job training schools by deciding what school they would like to attend and what courses are offered at that school. Students also take aptitude tests to find out what they are capable of. From these tests the counselor interprets the information gathered so that the student can make a good decision in regard to what he Wants to do. In the sophomore year some of the primarv concerns are helping the students become orientated or adjusted to the senior high school and also letting the student developarealistic understanding of his potential so that future plans for after graduation can be made. Considerable time is also spent in the selection of courses that will allow the student to pursue these plans. Aid in planning future schedules comes from our sophomore counselor, Mr. Welsh. ff, With the aid of Mr. Youngs, juniors plan their years after high school.
